Bangladesh men bowed out of the Asian Games football competition after losing 3-1 to North Korea in the knockout phase match. 

DPR Korea produced a dominant display to beat Bangladesh, at the Wibawa Mukti Stadium in Cikarang, Indonesia Friday (August 24) evening. 

First-half goals by Kim Yu-song and Han Yong-thae put the North Koreans firmly in control of proceedings, before Kang Kuk-chol added a third in the 69th minute.

Saad Uddin pull one back for Bangladesh in the 91st minute but it proved little more than a consolation, as DPR Korea advanced to a last-eight clash with United Arab Emirates.
